The meeting begins <br /> at 7 p.m. at the River Road Park District Annex, 1055 River Road. <br /> The July 11 meeting is part of an outreach process currently under way in <br /> response to direction from the Eugene City Council that additional efforts be made to <br /> work with the community on the design of River Avenue improvements. At the request <br /> of local property owners and neighborhood groups, the council in April directed staff to <br /> work with the community to modify the planned improvements. <br /> The agenda for the July 11 meeting includes a review of the stakeholder process <br /> currently under way, a brief staff presentation on a design previously prepared for River <br /> Avenue, and plenty of time for comments on specific design elements and questions <br /> about the project. <br /> Later this summer, a group of stakeholders will convene, and the comments and <br /> ,suggestions received during the input phase will be reviewed. The stakeholders and <br /> staff will work toward consensus on a preferred design alternative. In October the <br /> <br /> ,Council is scheduled to consider the results of the outreach to the community and a <br /> recommended design concept for River Avenue improvements. <br /> Public Works • Administration • City of Eugene • 858 Pearl Street • Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> Phone: (541) 682-5262 • FAX: (541) 682-6826 • www.ci.eugene.or.us <br /> <br />
